A clamshell bucket has complementary bowl sections pivotally supported from a deck, there being a generally horizontally disposed hydraulic cylinder which is trunnion mounted near its head end through linkage fixed to the top of one bowl section, and there being a piston rod for said cylinder pivotally connected at its outer end through linkage fixed to the top of the other bowl section, and there also being linkage which includes an equalizer link for insuring equal movement of the bowl sections when the hydraulic cylinder is operated. A bucket cleaner is also supported from the deck and is arranged to automatically clean the bowl sections as they are moved to open position.
